In Indonesia, ENGIE is developing a geothermal exploration project on the site of Rantau Dedap, located 225 kilometers from Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra province. This concession was granted to the consortium of ENGIE, PT SupremeEnergy and Marubeni. If developed to the targeted capacity of 240 MW, the Project is expected to be able to support a geothermal power generation capacity of over 30 years to provide access to electricity for around 480,000 households and an estimated net reduction in carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 1.1 million tons per year. ENGIE is also developing two other geothermal exploration projects in Indonesia: one in Muaralaboh in WesternSumatra and one called the Rajabasa project, on the Southern tip of the island. With a hundred and forty active volcanoes, Indonesia has the largest geothermal potential on the planet, with 40% of the world's reserve.

http://www.geothermalenergy.org/ - Learn how geothermal energy is converted into electricity that we can use to power our homes. Geothermal power plant uses high temperature ground source energy from 5000 feet below the earth surface where rain water reservoir is heated by earth magma to super high temperatures, and then extracted through e special well. On the ground, this super hot liquid is turned into steam which is used to turn a massive turbine, where electricity is produced.

The idea of using geothermal energy in Switzerland was abandoned after projects led to earthquakes. Now canton Jura is planning a new geothermal project, one that should avoid past mistakes.
Switzerland has had bad luck with geothermal energy projects so far. St Gallen had to abandon its project after causing an earthquake of 3.5 on the Richter scale in 2013. Several buildings were damaged. Earlier on, in 2006, geothermal drilling in Basel caused an earthquake of 3.4, again leading to damaged buildings. After several aftershocks the Basel project also had to be halted.
To use geothermal energy, water heats up by being pumped into hot rock layers. The hot water and steam return to the surface via a second tube and lead to power turbines, which produce electricity. But before water can actually circulate, the dense stone layers have to be made porous. This is done by pumping water under high pressure into the hot rock layers, which create horizontal cracks.
The project in Basel tried to produce a vast system of cracks in one go. It showed that this method significantly increased the risk of earthquakes. The Jura project will proceed step by step. It will create smaller cracks and pause after every new crack to analyse the data. This strategy is more expensive, but has been successful abroad.
Despite this new approach in Jura, there is resistance. An initiative by local residents aims to stop the project. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

Jim and I decided to check out the soil restoration project happening in our newly "fully funded" geothermal greenhouse project in downtown Pagosa Springs. Won't you join us?
Mission Statement:
The GeothermalGreenhousePartnership is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Our mission is to educate the community in sustainable agricultural practices by producing food year-round using local renewable energy.
Our goal is to build three greenhouses for our community. The first will be the Education dome. Its purpose is for education of K-12, adults, tourists, and community members to learn first hand what sustainable agricultural practices are, how to grow their food, and by using the area’s natural resource, the world’s deepest geothermal hot springs, what sustainability can mean. The second will be the CommunityGardens dome. Its purpose is to give community organizations the ability to grow food, educate their members, create sustainability for the life of their organization, and serve the community. The third dome will be dedicated to innovation and best practices for the future.
Greenhouses:
In an effort to help the economic growth of our own community, two of the three 42-foot greenhouses will be geodesic domes fabricated by a local company, GrowingSpaces. The domes are made of triple wall polycarbonate triangles with black-lined heating pools and solar-controlled fans to regulate temperature. Construction will include foundations and heat exchanger/cooling systems with the requisite underground utilities.
Additional outside garden production areas, walkways, refrigeration units, public amenities, utilities, and an amphitheatre complete the physical project.
Education Greenhouse:
The first of the three greenhouses, the Education dome, was constructed in the Fall of 2016. The beds have been seeded and the plants are flourishing. Workdays are held every Tuesday and Saturday, from 10am-2pm, where volunteers can be viewed in action. When programming is developed, the dome will be devoted to teaching sustainable gardening skills and environmental education – pre-K through secondary students, Colorado State UniversityExtension Services, and university level students, as well as visitors, eco-tourists and community members. A few of the beds will be devoted to the GGP’s desire to prove sustainability; plants will be sold to produce revenue for the project.
Community Gardens Greenhouse:
The Community Gardens greenhouse, the second dome, received a matching grant of $34K from the ColoradoGardenFoundation to be awarded in March, 2018. This greenhouse will be devoted to community organizations interested in renting garden beds; the produce grown will belong to the organizations. Suggested uses are community support of individuals in need, benefit to the the organization’s members, and Farmer’s Market sales. The GGP will provide the educational component to ensure the organizations’ success.
Innovative Greenhouse:
The third greenhouse will be devoted to innovation. As the first two greenhouses become sustainable, the third will be developed to provide the latest in scientific advancement.
Phase III
domePhase III will be about expanding the influence of the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership. This phase will involve the GGP in a business incubation effort – sharing the knowledge it has gained about crops, production methods, and geothermal technology with entities interested in establishing production greenhouses. As a result our community should experience the creation of more tourism, new jobs, and become more economically heterogeneous, thus less vulnerable to economic downturns.
Future Activities:
Continue to pursue specific funding opportunities for the construction of the GGP facilities.
Continue to build relationships locally, regionally, and nationwide to encourage financial and promotional support.
Continue to build relationships with vested entities that can support and participate in the development of the project.
Build and manage the project efficiently and cooperatively.

MattHastings discusses EGSEnergy’s plans to help increase Cornwall’s energy security & meet the government's 2020 renewable energy targets via a major pioneering geothermal plant at the iconic Eden Project. The site will enable Cornwall to lead the way in renewable energy once again & will make the region home to Britain’s first ever geothermal plant. Cornwall hosts some of the world’s greatest wind, solar, wave & geothermal energy resources & there are exciting times ahead as we look to maximize these technologies & drive the renewable energy market right from its heartland.
Cornwall has a unique proposition. The county’s natural assets and infrastructure make it the ideal location for businesses.
If you want to make the most of the innovative businesses, world class facilities and quality of life Cornwall has to offer, talk to one of our Inward Investment Consultants to find out more about discovering talent, making introductions, identifying premises and accessing funding.

Geothermal gradient

Geothermal gradient is the rate of increasing temperature with respect to increasing depth in the Earth's interior. Away from tectonic plate boundaries, it is about 25°C per km of depth (1°F per 70 feet of depth) near the surface in most of the world. Strictly speaking, geo-thermal necessarily refers to the Earth but the concept may be applied to other planets. A line tracing the gradient through the planetary body is called a geotherm on Earth and other terrestrial planets. On the Moon it is called a selenotherm.

The Earth's internal heat comes from a combination of residual heat from planetary accretion, heat produced through radioactive decay, and possibly heat from other sources. The major heat-producing isotopes in the Earth are potassium-40, uranium-238, uranium-235, and thorium-232. At the center of the planet, the temperature may be up to 7,000K and the pressure could reach 360GPa(3.6 million atm). Because much of the heat is provided by radioactive decay, scientists believe that early in Earth history, before isotopes with short half-lives had been depleted, Earth's heat production would have been much higher. Heat production was twice that of present-day at approximately 3billionyears ago, resulting in larger temperature gradients within the Earth, larger rates of mantle convection and plate tectonics, allowing the production of igneous rocks such as komatiites that are not formed anymore today.

Project

In contemporary business and science a project is a collaborative enterprise, involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim.

Project can also be defined as a set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations.

Projects can be further defined as temporary rather than permanent social systems or work systems that are constituted by teams within or across organizations to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints. An ongoing project is usually called (or evolves into) a program.

Overview

The word project comes the Latin word projectum from the Latin verb proicere, "before an action" which in turn comes from pro-, which denotes precedence, something that comes before something else in time (paralleling the Greek πρό) and iacere, "to do". The word "project" thus actually originally meant "before an action".

When the English language initially adopted the word, it referred to a plan of something, not to the act of actually carrying this plan out. Something performed in accordance with a project became known as an "object".Every project has certain phases of development.

History

The world's first power station was designed and built by Lord Armstrong at Cragside, England in 1868. Water from one of the lakes was used to power Siemensdynamos. The electricity supplied power to lights, heating, produced hot water, ran an elevator as well as labor-saving devices and farm buildings.

Te Mihi Power Station uses geothermal energy from the Wairakei geothermal field, which lies in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. It is part of a plan to gradually replace the Wairakei Power Station which will be phased out of production. With Te Mihi in operation, output from Wairakei is decreased by approximately 45 MW, resulting in a net increase of about 114 MW.

The project was designed and constructed by a joint venture of McConnell Dowell, SNC-Lavalin and Parsons Brinckerhoff. The plant includes two 83 MW steam turbines supplied by Toshiba. The project cost $623 million and was officially opened in August 2014.

Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials (in currently uncertain but possibly roughly equal proportions). The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface. The adjective geothermal originates from the Greek roots γη (ge), meaning earth, and θερμος (thermos), meaning hot.

Earth's internal heat is thermal energy generated from radioactive decay and continual heat loss from Earth's formation. Temperatures at the core–mantle boundary may reach over 4000°C (7,200°F). The high temperature and pressure in Earth's interior cause some rock to melt and solid mantle to behave plastically, resulting in portions of mantle convecting upward since it is lighter than the surrounding rock. Rock and water is heated in the crust, sometimes up to 370°C (700°F).

Montserrat Geothermal Project [Update]

Montserrat takes a primacy position in the region with alternative energy. Since the commencement of drilling on 17 March 2013, the geothermal wells are now approaching 1,000 Meters (approximately 3280ft 10 5⁄64in.). The temperature at this depth is estimated to be 150ºC (302ºF).
Minister of Communications & Works, HonourableCharles Kirnon, is very pleased with the progress made to date.
In an interview with GOMPublic RelationsUnit, the Project Manager of the Montserrat GeothermalProject, RogerAlmond, said that the current depth reach is just over half of the 18meters which is the eventual depth of the well. Project geologist, Bastien Poux, indicated that the incision has cored through the clay cap, and is now encountering hard silicified sand stone rock. He went on to explain that once the well reaches its heat reservoir temperature which can range from 200ºC to 250 ºC , the Geothermal drill rig will be moved to site #2 to carry out a similar energy exploration process.

If developed to the targeted capacity of 240 MW, the Project is expected to be able to support a geothermal power generation capacity of over 30 years to provide access to electricity for around 480,000 households and an estimated net reduction in carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 1.1 million tons per year. ENGIE is also developing two other geothermal exploration projects in Indonesia: one in Muaralaboh in WesternSumatra and one called the Rajabasa project, on the Southern tip of the island. With a hundred and forty active volcanoes, Indonesia has the largest geothermal potential on the planet, with 40% of the world's reserve.

The idea of using geothermal energy in Switzerland was abandoned after projects led to earthquakes. Now canton Jura is planning a new geothermal project, one that should avoid past mistakes.
Switzerland has had bad luck with geothermal energy projects so far. St Gallen had to abandon its project after causing an earthquake of 3.5 on the Richter scale in 2013. Several buildings were damaged. Earlier on, in 2006, geothermal drilling in Basel caused an earthquake of 3.4, again leading to damaged buildings. After several aftershocks the Basel project also had to be halted.
To use geothermal energy, water heats up by being pumped into hot rock layers. The hot water and steam return to the surface via a second tube and lead to power turbines, which produce electricity. But before water can actually circulate, the dense stone layers have to be made porous. This is done by pumping water under high pressure into the hot rock layers, which create horizontal cracks.
The project in Basel tried to produce a vast system of cracks in one go. It showed that this method significantly increased the risk of earthquakes. The Jura project will proceed step by step. It will create smaller cracks and pause after every new crack to analyse the data. This strategy is more expensive, but has been successful abroad.
Despite this new approach in Jura, there is resistance. An initiative by local residents aims to stop the project. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

Jim and I decided to check out the soil restoration project happening in our newly "fully funded" geothermal greenhouse project in downtown Pagosa Springs. Won't you join us?
Mission Statement:
The GeothermalGreenhousePartnership is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Our mission is to educate the community in sustainable agricultural practices by producing food year-round using local renewable energy.
Our goal is to build three greenhouses for our community. The first will be the Education dome. Its purpose is for education of K-12, adults, tourists, and community members to learn first hand what sustainable agricultural practices are, how to grow their food, and by using the area’s natural resource, the world’s deepest geothermal hot springs, what sustainability can mean. The second will be the CommunityGardens dome. Its purpose is to give community organizations the ability to grow food, educate their members, create sustainability for the life of their organization, and serve the community. The third dome will be dedicated to innovation and best practices for the future.
Greenhouses:
In an effort to help the economic growth of our own community, two of the three 42-foot greenhouses will be geodesic domes fabricated by a local company, GrowingSpaces. The domes are made of triple wall polycarbonate triangles with black-lined heating pools and solar-controlled fans to regulate temperature. Construction will include foundations and heat exchanger/cooling systems with the requisite underground utilities.
Additional outside garden production areas, walkways, refrigeration units, public amenities, utilities, and an amphitheatre complete the physical project.
Education Greenhouse:
The first of the three greenhouses, the Education dome, was constructed in the Fall of 2016. The beds have been seeded and the plants are flourishing. Workdays are held every Tuesday and Saturday, from 10am-2pm, where volunteers can be viewed in action. When programming is developed, the dome will be devoted to teaching sustainable gardening skills and environmental education – pre-K through secondary students, Colorado State UniversityExtension Services, and university level students, as well as visitors, eco-tourists and community members. A few of the beds will be devoted to the GGP’s desire to prove sustainability; plants will be sold to produce revenue for the project.
Community Gardens Greenhouse:
The Community Gardens greenhouse, the second dome, received a matching grant of $34K from the ColoradoGardenFoundation to be awarded in March, 2018. This greenhouse will be devoted to community organizations interested in renting garden beds; the produce grown will belong to the organizations. Suggested uses are community support of individuals in need, benefit to the the organization’s members, and Farmer’s Market sales. The GGP will provide the educational component to ensure the organizations’ success.
Innovative Greenhouse:
The third greenhouse will be devoted to innovation. As the first two greenhouses become sustainable, the third will be developed to provide the latest in scientific advancement.
Phase III
domePhase III will be about expanding the influence of the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership. This phase will involve the GGP in a business incubation effort – sharing the knowledge it has gained about crops, production methods, and geothermal technology with entities interested in establishing production greenhouses. As a result our community should experience the creation of more tourism, new jobs, and become more economically heterogeneous, thus less vulnerable to economic downturns.
Future Activities:
Continue to pursue specific funding opportunities for the construction of the GGP facilities.
Continue to build relationships locally, regionally, and nationwide to encourage financial and promotional support.
Continue to build relationships with vested entities that can support and participate in the development of the project.
Build and manage the project efficiently and cooperatively.

Montserrat takes a primacy position in the region with alternative energy. Since the commencement of drilling on 17 March 2013, the geothermal wells are now approaching 1,000 Meters (approximately 3280ft 10 5⁄64in.). The temperature at this depth is estimated to be 150ºC (302ºF).
Minister of Communications & Works, HonourableCharles Kirnon, is very pleased with the progress made to date.
In an interview with GOMPublic RelationsUnit, the Project Manager of the Montserrat GeothermalProject, RogerAlmond, said that the current depth reach is just over half of the 18meters which is the eventual depth of the well. Project geologist, Bastien Poux, indicated that the incision has cored through the clay cap, and is now encountering hard silicified sand stone rock. He went on to explain that once the well reaches its heat reservoir temperature which can range from 200ºC to 250 ºC , the Geothermal drill rig will be moved to site #2 to carry out a similar energy exploration process.

Steam Drillers (Geothermal Energy Development)

Geothermal drilling is the process of creating boreholes in the earth to extract the earth's heat.
Geothermal Exploration is the exploration of the subsurface in search of viable active geothermal regions with the goal of building a geothermal power plant, where hot fluids drive turbines to create electricity. Exploration methods include a broad range of disciplines including geology, geophysics, geochemistry and engineering.
Geothermal regions with adequate heat flow to fuel power plants are found in rift zones, subduction zones and mantle plumes. Hot spots are characterized by four geothermal elements. An active region will have:
HeatSource - Shallow magmatic body, decaying radioactive elements or ambient heat from high pressures

Central Geothermal System Design and Control

Geothermal systems have been growing in popularity because they use less energy and cost less to operate. Most designers are familiar with heat pump systems, using small, "geothermal" heat pumps, distributed throughout the building, that are coupled with a ground source heat exchanger.
Today, project teams are also considering central geothermal systems consisting of one or two chillers coupled with a closed, geothermal loop which exchanges heat with the earth. These systems offer premium energy efficiency, with the additional benefit of centralized maintenance, acoustic advantages, and flexibility. For continuing education credit for this course, please visit www.trane.com/continuingeducation.

Geothermal drilling is the process of creating boreholes in the earth to extract the earth's heat.
Geothermal Exploration is the exploration of the subsurface in search of viable active geothermal regions with the goal of building a geothermal power plant, where hot fluids drive turbines to create electricity. Exploration methods include a broad range of disciplines including geology, geophysics, geochemistry and engineering.
Geothermal regions with adequate heat flow to fuel power plants are found in rift zones, subduction zones and mantle plumes. Hot spots are characterized by four geothermal elements. An active region will have:
HeatSource - Shallow magmatic body, decaying radioactive elements or ambient heat from high pressures
Reservoir - Collection of hot rocks from which heat can be drawn
Geothermal Fluid - Gas, vapor and water found within the reservoir
RechargeArea - Area surrounding the reservoir that rehydrates the geothermal system.
Exploration involves not only identifying hot geothermal bodies, but also low-density, cost effective regions to drill and already constituted plumbing systems inherent within the subsurface. This information allows for higher success rates in geothermal plant production as well as lower drilling costs.
As much as 42% of all expenses associated with geothermal energy production can be attributed to exploration. These costs are mostly from drilling operations necessary to confirm or deny viable geothermal regions. Some geothermal experts have gone to say that developments in exploration techniques and technologies have the potential to bring the greatest advancements within the industry.

The Rantau Dedap Geothermal Project in Indonesia

In Indonesia, ENGIE is developing a geothermal exploration project on the site of Rantau Dedap, located 225 kilometers from Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra province. This concession was granted to the consortium of ENGIE, PT SupremeEnergy and Marubeni. If developed to the targeted capacity of 240 MW, the Project is expected to be able to support a geothermal power generation capacity of over 30 years to provide access to electricity for around 480,000 households and an estimated net reduction in carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 1.1 million tons per year. ENGIE is also developing two other geothermal exploration projects in Indonesia: one in Muaralaboh in WesternSumatra and one called the Rajabasa project, on the Southern tip of the island. With a hundred and forty active volcanoes, Indonesia has the largest geothermal potential on the planet, with 40% of the world's reserve.

Geothermal Electric Power Plant

http://www.geothermalenergy.org/ - Learn how geothermal energy is converted into electricity that we can use to power our homes. Geothermal power plant uses high temperature ground source energy from 5000 feet below the earth surface where rain water reservoir is heated by earth magma to super high temperatures, and then extracted through e special well. On the ground, this super hot liquid is turned into steam which is used to turn a massive turbine, where electricity is produced.

Geothermal project with smaller seismic risk

The idea of using geothermal energy in Switzerland was abandoned after projects led to earthquakes. Now canton Jura is planning a new geothermal project, one that should avoid past mistakes.
Switzerland has had bad luck with geothermal energy projects so far. St Gallen had to abandon its project after causing an earthquake of 3.5 on the Richter scale in 2013. Several buildings were damaged. Earlier on, in 2006, geothermal drilling in Basel caused an earthquake of 3.4, again leading to damaged buildings. After several aftershocks the Basel project also had to be halted.
To use geothermal energy, water heats up by being pumped into hot rock layers. The hot water and steam return to the surface via a second tube and lead to power turbines, which produce electricity. But before water can actually circulate, the dense stone layers have to be made porous. This is done by pumping water under high pressure into the hot rock layers, which create horizontal cracks.
The project in Basel tried to produce a vast system of cracks in one go. It showed that this method significantly increased the risk of earthquakes. The Jura project will proceed step by step. It will create smaller cracks and pause after every new crack to analyse the data. This strategy is more expensive, but has been successful abroad.
Despite this new approach in Jura, there is resistance. An initiative by local residents aims to stop the project. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

Jim and I decided to check out the soil restoration project happening in our newly "fully funded" geothermal greenhouse project in downtown Pagosa Springs. Won't you join us?
Mission Statement:
The GeothermalGreenhousePartnership is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Our mission is to educate the community in sustainable agricultural practices by producing food year-round using local renewable energy.
Our goal is to build three greenhouses for our community. The first will be the Education dome. Its purpose is for education of K-12, adults, tourists, and community members to learn first hand what sustainable agricultural practices are, how to grow their food, and by using the area’s natural resource, the world’s deepest geothermal hot springs, what sustainability can mean. The second will be the CommunityGardens dome. Its purpose is to give community organizations the ability to grow food, educate their members, create sustainability for the life of their organization, and serve the community. The third dome will be dedicated to innovation and best practices for the future.
Greenhouses:
In an effort to help the economic growth of our own community, two of the three 42-foot greenhouses will be geodesic domes fabricated by a local company, GrowingSpaces. The domes are made of triple wall polycarbonate triangles with black-lined heating pools and solar-controlled fans to regulate temperature. Construction will include foundations and heat exchanger/cooling systems with the requisite underground utilities.
Additional outside garden production areas, walkways, refrigeration units, public amenities, utilities, and an amphitheatre complete the physical project.
Education Greenhouse:
The first of the three greenhouses, the Education dome, was constructed in the Fall of 2016. The beds have been seeded and the plants are flourishing. Workdays are held every Tuesday and Saturday, from 10am-2pm, where volunteers can be viewed in action. When programming is developed, the dome will be devoted to teaching sustainable gardening skills and environmental education – pre-K through secondary students, Colorado State UniversityExtension Services, and university level students, as well as visitors, eco-tourists and community members. A few of the beds will be devoted to the GGP’s desire to prove sustainability; plants will be sold to produce revenue for the project.
Community Gardens Greenhouse:
The Community Gardens greenhouse, the second dome, received a matching grant of $34K from the ColoradoGardenFoundation to be awarded in March, 2018. This greenhouse will be devoted to community organizations interested in renting garden beds; the produce grown will belong to the organizations. Suggested uses are community support of individuals in need, benefit to the the organization’s members, and Farmer’s Market sales. The GGP will provide the educational component to ensure the organizations’ success.
Innovative Greenhouse:
The third greenhouse will be devoted to innovation. As the first two greenhouses become sustainable, the third will be developed to provide the latest in scientific advancement.
Phase III
domePhase III will be about expanding the influence of the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership. This phase will involve the GGP in a business incubation effort – sharing the knowledge it has gained about crops, production methods, and geothermal technology with entities interested in establishing production greenhouses. As a result our community should experience the creation of more tourism, new jobs, and become more economically heterogeneous, thus less vulnerable to economic downturns.
Future Activities:
Continue to pursue specific funding opportunities for the construction of the GGP facilities.
Continue to build relationships locally, regionally, and nationwide to encourage financial and promotional support.
Continue to build relationships with vested entities that can support and participate in the development of the project.
Build and manage the project efficiently and cooperatively.

Steam Drillers (Geothermal Energy Development)

Geothermal drilling is the process of creating boreholes in the earth to extract the earth's heat.
Geothermal Exploration is the exploration of the subsurface in search of viable active geothermal regions with the goal of building a geothermal power plant, where hot fluids drive turbines to create electricity. Exploration methods include a broad range of disciplines including geology, geophysics, geochemistry and engineering.
Geothermal regions with adequate heat flow to fuel power plants are found in rift zones, subduction zones and mantle plumes. Hot spots are characterized by four geothermal elements. An active region will have:
HeatSource - Shallow magmatic body, decaying radioactive elements or ambient heat from high pressures
Reservoir - Collection of hot rocks from which heat can be drawn
Geothermal Fluid - Gas, vapor and water found within the reservoir
RechargeArea - Area surrounding the reservoir that rehydrates the geothermal system.
Exploration involves not only identifying hot geothermal bodies, but also low-density, cost effective regions to drill and already constituted plumbing systems inherent within the subsurface. This information allows for higher success rates in geothermal plant production as well as lower drilling costs.
As much as 42% of all expenses associated with geothermal energy production can be attributed to exploration. These costs are mostly from drilling operations necessary to confirm or deny viable geothermal regions. Some geothermal experts have gone to say that developments in exploration techniques and technologies have the potential to bring the greatest advancements within the industry.
